Cultivating equipment in the household for amateur gardeners and avid gardeners helps to increase the efficiency and productivity of their work. One of the leading positions in the ranking of the most popular manufacturers of motoblocks is Caiman, which has already established itself in the market of household equipment as a reliable manufacturer.
Motoblocks "Cayman": general information
Manufacturer "Cayman" is a French company that specializes in the manufacture of walk-behind blocks and various attachments, which subsequently significantly extends the functionality of modern technology.
The main component of the motoblock is the powerful Subaru engine, equipped with pneumatic tires, due to which the passability of the device is significantly increased. "Cayman" - a walk-behind tractor with a wide model range.
The principle of operation of the walk-behind tractor
From a technical point of view, the cultivator is considered equipment of medium complexity. But it is worth noting that when designing a walk-behind tractor, experts provide for the use of many important components.
"Cayman" (walk-behind tractor) runs on gasoline or diesel fuel. The principle of operation is the use of an internal combustion engine. It transmits rotational reflexes through transmission and clutch to the camshaft, and that already provokes the movement of the unit wheel, the engine starts.
When the motor is running, the user activates the first speed mode, directing the device to where it is necessary to work the cultivator.
Work with the ground and soil is carried out thanks to special nozzles - attachments. A specific nozzle performs the appropriate type of work on tillage.
In addition, it is possible to connect various mechanized devices, which, in fact, makes the Cayman walk-behind tractor (photo of the models of which are presented above) a universal equipment. It can be called a mini-tractor.
The lineup of cultivators "Cayman"
The motoblock model should be selected based on the purpose of its acquisition and the intended tasks that it will have to perform. The assortment of the Cayman trademark is wide enough, therefore, it makes no sense to consider each model. Motorblocks "Cayman", reviews of which are breaking records (or rather, their number): cultivating units "Cayman" 340, 330 and "Vario".
Model 340 is equipped with a powerful engine of 14 horsepower, large-diameter wheels, treads. Type of movement - self-propelled. Supports the ability to reverse. It plows the earth to a depth of 22 cm, the area it occupies is 90 cm. The cultivator weighs 107 kg. The capacity of the gasoline tank is 3.6 liters.
Model 330 is considered an analogue of the Cayman 340 motor-block. The only difference is the power level of the motor. Here he reaches only 9 horses.
The Vario cultivator is an expensive implement, but it quickly pays for itself. This model is equipped with a gearbox that does not require special maintenance. When designing, high-quality waterproof seals were used, which represent an insurmountable barrier to dirt and dust, thus eliminating the clogging of an internal character, which will significantly prolong the life of the device. Speeds switch smoothly.

- open the gas valve;
- switch the suction lever to the "Start" mode;
- deactivate ignition;
- pump 3-5 times with a manual starter;

Features of maintenance of motoblocks
Any cultivators require special maintenance, the Cayman (walk-behind tractor) is no exception. There is a set of recommendations, following which will significantly extend the life of the unit:
- Systematic oil change. Oil fuel must be changed once a year. It is better to do this after the winter, because if it is replaced before the cold, then during the winter it will become worthless.
- Checking the oil level before each start.
- Regular change of modes "Work – rest". It is strictly forbidden to overheat the engine, regardless of how powerful it is.
- Slow plowing. When processing hard soil, the depth of plowing should be divided into two passes. Such manipulation has a beneficial effect on the engine and gearbox.
- Systematic lubricant change in gearbox. This ensures the proper functioning of the gearbox, and therefore, positively affects the Cayman walk-behind tractor as a whole, and more precisely, its technical condition. Recall that the cost of the gearbox is a large part of the cost of the entire walk-behind tractor.
